Reports have it that Manchester United are now very close to finalising the deal to sign Erik Ten Hag. Even though most people favoured Mauricio Pochettino for the job recent developments may have contributed to the swift move for Ten Hag. Real Madrid will win La Liga this season. However, they are not one of the favourites to win the Champions League. Ancelotti will be sacked if he doesn't win the cherished trophy and Pochettino is the rumoured favourite to take over the Madrid job with Zidane touted to take over at PSG. It will be very unreasonable to expect Mauricio Pochettino to choose a very unsettled Manchester United ahead of Madrid. Ten Hag has done well with Ajax. He's about to get this complicated job on the back of his exploits in the Champions League with Ajax in the last 4 years. I hope he is finally the one to at least make Man U a football force to be reckoned with once again. It's been five years since the last trophy already - a much derided Europa League triumph.

Not so sure the board will give him much time to build progress. The fans are expecting a quick come-back.
That was why Van Gaal warned him off Man U and called them a commercial club and not a football club. Man U want instant success to keep their shareholders happy. That is why the club has veered badly off course the last few years.
